Dear Grandma how are you doing?
I never thought these days would come
to say these words and see you depart.
I just want to say a few words to you and help not to cry.
I remember you would hold me into your arms and rock me to sleep
and read a bed time story then kiss me goodnight.
You would go and turn on my nightlight,
then turn to disappear from my sight.
Sometimes we would play hide-and-go seek or bake a cookie.
Other times you pick me up just to hold me tight to never let go as I do the same.
Then I turn my small little head, to whisper three small words to you,
“I love you, Grandma”.
In return, you replied the same words to me.
For a while I drifted apart but later I grew closer unto you.
Now you have departed this beautiful world and left me here with grandpa
not so much to worry though.
Yes its tough.
I must say heaven has to be the most beautiful place to see and be.
Here I say that inside me I am still a child,
waiting yonder to see your face again and hear your soft laughter.
As time passes by I do miss all the gentle hugs and care that you have given to me.
Grandma, you were my security, and my brave heart. You were what kept me going in life.
But now that you are gone,
I have been slowly falling apart.
But I know that you would reach out your old fragile hands to me,
to say, “everything will be alright”.
So here are my last words to you,
“These roses I see will always remind me of you. And so I ask in return to please remember me and come back soon because I miss you deeply.
I love you greatly and you will forever be in my heart.”
Farewell and rest in peace.
Goodbye mother, I love you!
